Andrew Pollis AKA Andrew Thunderdog
« on: December 04, 2018, 02:26:47 pm »
Claiming to be Lakota healer with Mapuche ancestry, operates in Australia and France.

For newcomers to the forum, only members of the Lakota community can teach Lakota ceremony. If he did learn traditionally, what he does is considered unethical and exploitative.

Andrew is from Lakota tradition residing in New Mexico. He is a ceremonial leader, dancer of the sun and has worked from many years in the joint practice of techniques traditional care and modern emergency medicine. He was taught by Marcellus BearHeart and many other respected Elders. He is looking to continually learn and discover more about Native traditions than about the future of our planet and its inhabitants. We are pleased to have Andrew with us again to share his knowledge and experiences on the theme: Dreams and their teachers . This seminar will be divided into two parts. Saturday for everyone for basic teachings of the subject and Sunday to deepen with men and answer to their questions (women having their own teaching on the Sacred Feminine). Topics covered during these 2 days will touch on a broad area including: The plants that teach: • Psychotropic plants and the quest for knowledge • Psychotropic attitudes and approaches - organic versus synthetic • Preparation techniques for plants and the human body • Plants as food for the body, mind and soul. It should be noted that no substance will be ingested during this seminar. Teaching animals: • The Quest of Vision ceremony • The importance of the wild nature of the soul. • The shamanic soul as an animal spirit - how depression and anxiety get relate to being de-spiritualized. • The monkey and the snake; the animal as food for the body, the spirit and the soul. Human teachers: • The shaman and the mystic, religion and its leaders • Authentic personal experience versus faith and belief • The physical body as a storehouse of memory • The 8 original mothers • Diagnostic techniques and treatment of discomfort in indigenous cultures

That two-page PDF shows he is working with another Pollis, claiming to be of Blackfoot ancestry:

Quote
Kimberly Pollis est une artiste d’origine Blackfoot …

The rest of the short biography in there (in French) corresponds to this one in English:

About
My arts background is in Graphic Design and Illustration. Currently, I teach grade school children traditional tin smithing. " I feel it's most important to pass on knowledge to the next generation, to preserve the traditional arts." There are many projects in the community where I live that involve the youth and the arts. I stay involved. When I'm not teaching, I am constantly creating new pieces, working in my studio, on writing projects and preparing for the next show.

So how are Andrew Pollis and Kimberly Pollis related, and do they perform together on a grand scale?
